This Companion is an essential guide to all aspects of the organ and its music. It examines in turn the instrument, the player
and the repertoire. The early chapters tell of the instrument's history and construction, identify the scientific basis of
its sounds and the development of its pitch and tuning, examine the history of the organ case, and consider the current trends
and conflicts within the world of organ building. Central chapters investigate the practical art of learning and playing the
organ, introduce the complex area of performance practice, and outline the relationship between organ playing and the liturgy
of the church. The final section explores the vast repertoire of organ music, focusing on a selection of the most important
traditions

Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637-1707) was the greatest figure in the history of German music between Schutz and Bach. His church
music is performed today, yet that of his North German contemporaries (such as Matthias Weckmann, Christoph Bernhard, Nicolaus
Bruhns, and Johann Meder) has received comparatively little attention. This book, taking its lead from Jerome Roche's illuminating
study North Italian Church Music in the Age of Monteverdi (OUP, 1984), presents an overview of the North German church music
of Buxtehude's lifetime, much of which remains unavailable in modern editions. It challenges widely-held beliefs about the
nature and development of the repertory, and of the place held by Buxtehude within it. The picture that emerges is of a repertory
that is far more beholden to Italian influence than has previously been appreciated, and one that is not dominated by any
single figure

Romaria - a word suggesting pilgrimage, crowds, and processions - evokes much of what is distinctive about modern Brazil -
its mix of people, its vibrancy, its faith. This survey of modern Brazilian choral music reflects these qualities, as well
as the natural wonders of this amazing land. Geoffrey Webber and his ever-adventurous choir sing both sacred and secular works
dating from the 1950s to the present, in a program developed in conjunction with the University of Sao Paulo's music department.
Founded in 1348, Caius College Choir is one of Britain's leading collegiate choirs and this is their eighth recording on Delphian

ATMA Classique is reissuing one of Les Violons du Roy's seminal discs: the orchestra's recording of Mozart's Requiem as revised
and completed by Robert D. Levin. The soloists are Karina Gauvin, Marie-Nicole Lemieux, John Tessier, and Nathan Berg. Bernard
Labadie conducts Les Violons du Roy and the choir of La Chapelle de Québec. This recording was originally released on the
Dorian label in 2002, and won the JUNO Award for Best Classical Album of the year in the vocal or choral performance category.
This recording of Mozart's Requiem is especially poignant, as it was made in Troy, NewYork in the week following the September
11 attacks in 2001.The recording captures the emotion and immediacy of that special performance, which was later featured
on CBC Television's Opening Night. The Globe & Mail wrote about "an appreciation of the transcendent aspects of the Requiem
as a work of art that is about death, survival and the possibility of an afterlife. There is the magnificence of the music,
so often used to solemnly mark terrible tragedy and bring solace."
